            RECOGNIZING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF BILL STEINER

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
California (Mrs. Kim) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the life and 
legacy of Bill Steiner, who devoted his career to making Orange County 
a better place.
  He held many elected positions, serving on the Orange Unified School 
District school board, the Orange City Council, and the Orange County 
Board of Supervisors.
  However, his true passion was his work for children. Mr. Steiner 
founded the Orangewood Children's Home in Orange and the Good Samaritan 
Boy's Home in Corona. He also served on the board of directors for the 
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for over 16 years.
  While we miss him dearly, his legacy lives on and his organizations 
will have an untold impact on countless children.
  He is also an active member of the Rotary Club of Orange. In that 
capacity, Mr. Steiner epitomized the motto ``Service Above Self,'' and 
we are all better because of his tireless work. We will miss him 
dearly.

                 Celebrating Villa Park's 61st Birthday

  Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to celebrate the 
incorporation date of the city of Villa Park. Villa Park, known as the 
Hidden Jewel, was incorporated on this day in 1962 but was first 
settled around 1860.
  Despite being the smallest incorporated city in California's 40th 
District, in both land and population, Villa Park has an outsized 
impact on our community. It is home to four public schools and is known 
for its charitable organizations and programs, such as Villa Park 
Rotary Club, Villa Park Women's League, and the Marine Thanksgiving 
program.
  Villa Park's quiet neighborhoods, tree-lined streets, and low crime 
rate make the city an excellent place to live.
  As your Representative, I am committed to doing all I can to help 
Villa Park continue to be a haven for families and workers striving 
toward their American Dream.
  Happy 61st birthday, Villa Park.


                    Recognizing Korean American Day

  Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize Korean 
American Day.
  Since the first Korean immigrants arrived on January 13, 1903, Korean 
Americans have made their mark from sea to shining sea and have found 
success in the classroom, workplace, and even right here in Congress to 
make our Nation a better place.
  As one of the first Korean-American women to serve in Congress, and 
as an immigrant from South Korea, today, I reflect on the sacrifices my 
family made in the aftermath of the Korean war to have the chance at a 
better life here in the United States.
  I remain grateful for those who came before me and paved the way for 
someone like me to have a seat at the table, and I will always fight 
for freedom and opportunity for all Americans.
